Snap Out Of It! Wake Up! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The only way to know love,
Is to have love to give.
Anyone looking for something,
To claim it wished to get.
Maybe the one who had it.
But the appearance of love,
Did not satisfy the image...
Someone else disapproved to say,
Could be much better looking than it is!

"But...
They are faithful.
Devoted.
Works too hard.
Loves overtime.
Loyal, kind, honest.
And we enjoy just being together."

-Okay.
Boring!
These days,
People are seeking folks...
They want to cheat around with.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And who you decided,
To give all that devoted love...
And loyalty to for the rest of your life,
Is a waste of our imagination.-

"OUR?
Our who? "

-Your 'FRIENDS'!
That's what I'm talking about.
You have forgotten the meaning of friendship.
And 'we' decided you have lost your mind.
Look at you.
You can find someone MUCH better looking.
Like the rest of us who cheat.
Snap out of it! Wake up! -
